It's an old clock and wasn't doing anything until I took apart the gear assy. I have the clock working, but the bird goes crazy and runs fast and won't lock in to stop or go in & out to the correct time! Thanks
We had the problem with ours when I was a kid. What we did on ours was to turn the hands until the clock cuckoos. Then we removed the hands from the stem and placed them back at the correct time. Hopefully, you can remove the hands from the stem without a problem. Don't force it however. Good luck.

Hi pbardua,
I suggest that you need to remove the the first Left weight and see if the clock will run normal again since you mentioned it was not connected before you took possession of it.
Remove the Left Weight and see first if thing will run fine on the clock, must be a reason why the first owner never connected the Left Weight.
Won't hurt to try.
SOURCE: How to sync. an old Black Forest cuckoo clock.
Suppose the cuckoo is calling three and the time is showing eleven, then to synchronize, simply stop the clock till the time is the same as the bird (three) and restart the clock at that time.
If the error persisys, then pull off the hour hand, and replace it at the synchonized time.
Testimonial: "Thanks so much for your help. I now have my cuckoo back in sync. I really appreciate your your help. Thanks so much."
